We would like to invite you to participate in our next, Eleventh Annual Sydney Symposium of Social Psychology, to be held 18-20th March 2008. These meetings are held every year on a different topic, and bring together leading international researchers in a major field of social psychology (see the attached flyer summarizing past meetings; please also check our website at www.sydneysymposium.unsw.edu.au for details, programs, pictures of past symposia, etc.). These small group meetings have a reputation of being among the most stimulating, enjoyable and fun conferences in our field - feel free to check with any of the past participants!! The topic of next year's symposium is

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SELF REGULATION,

(broadly defined!). Our aim is to survey the latest developments in theory and empirical research in this exciting and rapidly developing area. Given your seminal contribution to this field, we really hope that you will be able to participate. As in previous years, we are also able to offer a travel subsidy of AUD $1000 to invited participants. We expect that the contributions will be subsequently published in a book form. Contributions normally present a brief review of a significant area of research emphasizing especially the latest theoretical and empirical developments (the target word length for the eventual chapter is 6000 words, so it is a fairly concise project).

We very much hope that you will be able to come to Sydney next March. If so, we would like to receive an abstract of your proposed paper as soon as possible, and we will also need a draft text of your proposed contribution by January 15th 2007.

Thank you for considering this, and we look forward to hearing from you very soon.

Kind regards,

Joe Forgas, Roy Baumeister and Dianne Tice
